Summary/Abstract: May’s attack is one of the most controversial events in the history of independent Poland. It was absolutely incompatible with the ideology of the conservative group. It’s representatives opposed revolutionary changes because of their violence and illegality. Initially, the Krakow conservatives criticized the attack (see articles in “Czas”). The formation of a legal government, presidential elections and constitutions were the basis for a change of stance by the conservatives. The aim of the article is to present the process of changing opinions from criticism to cooperation between Krakow conservatives and Józef Piłsudski.
